Génois was a Téméraire class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, of the sub-type of Borée and Pluton.

Designed based on plans by Jacques-Noël Sané, and updated by Maillot, she was the prototype of a new variant of the Téméraire class designed to have a smaller draught, allowing the production of ships of the line in the shallower harbours.

[1] Engineer Forfait was sent to Genoa to save the ship, and managed to launch her properly on 16 August.

[1][4] She remained in Genoa un 1806,[5] before sailing to Toulon and taking part in the Mediterranean squadron under Vice-Admiral Ganteaume.

[8] In the spring of 1809, Lhermite was replaced by Captain Montalan,[9] who took command in April, and retain it until Génois was disarmed on 23 June 1814.
